Words taught me how people organize meaning, protect themselves, and reveal what matters most.  





Today, that same attentiveness shapes how I listen and engage in my clinical training. As a Marriage and Family Therapy Trainee,  I approach



my work with care, curiosity, and respect for the complexity of human experience.





My clinical training emphasizes presence over prescription, collaboration over interpretation, and emotional attunement over



performance. I work slowly and intentionally, attending to language, silence, and relational patterns as they emerge.






My orientation is humanistic and trauma-informed, with a strong respect for the client’s pace, autonomy, and lived context.





Rather than positioning myself as an expert, I aim to remain responsive, reflective, and grounded in supervision.






My training draws from relational, systemic, and evidence-based frameworks, and I integrate these approaches thoughtfully under 




licensed supervision. I am continually learning how to hold emotional depth with structure, and insight with humility. 




All clinical work is conducted under supervision through an approved practicum site, in accordance with
​



California Board of Behavioral Sciences requirements.
